| - The food I had tonight at Efe's was so good that, even though I'm nowhere near hungry, I can't stop eating my leftovers.
My dinner companion and I started with the appetizer sampler, which consisted of hummus, baba ganoush, stuffed grape leaves, some wonderful eggplant something (patlican sousli, says the menu), and tabbouleh. Verdict: mixed. I hate tabbouleh so I was not impressed by that. Neither were the grape leaves great - I always think I'll like them but I almost never do. But the patlican sousli was delicious, the hummus was insanely garlicky and wonderful, and the baba ganoush was excellent too, though it did have some sort of hickory taste going on in the background that left me a little puzzled. i think next time I'll stick with just the hummus and the patlican sousli.
Our main courses were both, like, ridiculously good. I had the doner kabob, which was grilled steak with pita, rice with saffron and walnuts, and cabbage slaw - the steak was perfectly cooked and super flavorful. My companion had the garlic shrimp, which was just outstanding. Everything was seasoned perfectly and the yogurt sauce that came with my meal was divine: yogurt, garlic, mint. I want to start putting that sauce on everything i eat.
I'll so totally be back. Maybe tomorrow.
